What Causes Low Sex Drive And Burning Sensation During Intercourse?

I had a partial hyst. 2 years ago. Since then my libido is almost zip. Now when I have intercourse my husband and I both have sever burning. When he wears protection I do not feel the burning. Never the less, he thinks it is him bease sex use to be very frequent now it s maybe twice a month and I dread it then. I am attracted to him but all I want to do is be left alone and the nagging to stop OR better have my sex drive back.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
The reason for low sex drive and burning sensation during intercourse could be due to vaginal dryness, which occurs due to hormonal changes happening after the operation like partial hysterectomy.
You can apply water-based moisturizer cream or lotion everyday at bedtime. Also use water-based lubricants while having intercourse to increase lubrication and decrease friction, so as to overcome burning sensation.
Kindly take care to prevent development of infection by washing the area well with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily and keep the genital area clean and healthy.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
